Kodak gets court approval to borrow $950 million, end theater sponsorship

Posted on February 17, 2012 by (Published for 5 days)

Kodak took another step along the road to recovery yesterday, after receiving court approval to borrow $950 million in restructuring funds. Nearly a month after the camera maker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, US Bankruptcy Judge Allen Gropper granted Kodak’s request on Thursday, allowing the company to continue operations during its ongoing transition. Gropper’s decision, handed down in a Manhattan court, follows a series of negotiations between Kodak and its lenders, and adds an extra $300 million to the $650 million awarded during January’s Chapter 11 filing. The company is also allowed to end its sponsorship of the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, after successfully arguing that doing so would be in the best interest of Kodak and its creditors. Under the deal, Kodak is obliged to pay $72 million over the course of 20 years. It currently shells out $3.6 million per year and still has $38 million in outstanding payments, but Kodak’s lawyers argued that the agreement was too costly. Kodak Chairman and CEO Antonio Perez issued the following statement in response to yesterday’s decision: “Today’s agreement is another step towards ensuring that Kodak is positioned to execute on the goals the Company set out last month: Bolster our liquidity in the U.S. and abroad, monetize our non-strategic intellectual property, fairly resolve legacy liabilities, and enable Kodak to focus on its most valuable business lines.”

Rooney follows Ferguson into racehorse ownership

Posted on February 16, 2012 by (Published for 6 days)

updated 12:56 p.m. ET Feb. 15, 2012

MANCHESTER, England – Wayne Rooney has followed Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson into racehorse ownership.

The England striker has bought two horses with wife Coleen that are based in the stables owned by United teammate Michael Owen and trained by Tom Dascombe.

Switcharooney, a two-year colt, cost $99,000 ? barely a third of Rooney’s weekly salary from the Premier League champions.

The Rooneys’ other horse is a three-year-old bay colt, Tomway, which is named after Wayne’s father, Thomas Wayne Rooney.

Both horses are expected to start racing in April just as the Premier League season is reaching its climax.

Obama adviser: Santorum takes ‘divisive positions’ (AP)

Posted on February 16, 2012 by (Published for 7 days)

WASHINGTON ? A top adviser to President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign says Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has taken “divisive positions” on key social issues.

David Axelrod tells “CBS This Morning” he believes voters don’t yet know Santorum very well. And he declines to speculate on how tough a race the former Pennsylvania senator could give Obama.

Axelrod says when people begin to look closely at Santorum’s positions, “we’ll get a better idea” of how well he’ll do. The former White House adviser also says the GOP race has been overcome by “negativism” and that has a “dispiriting” impact on voters.

As for the Obama re-election campaign, Axelrod says: “We don’t get exhilarated by good numbers. We’re not devastated by bad poll numbers. We just stick to our knitting and keep going.”

Domestic Abusers May Seek Control through Child Custody | Collins …

Posted on February 15, 2012 by (Published for 7 days)

The ending of relationships, whether through divorce or other means of separation should present an opportunity to move on for both the couples and the children involved; however, when domestic violence is present in these relationships, moving on may not be the goal of the abuser.

For those that perpetrate domestic violence, control is often the main goal of their behavior, according to the National Coalition against Domestic Violence. When divorce or separation proceedings begin, an abuser may attempt to maintain control by manipulating the process.

Manipulation can come in the form of improperly painting a portrait of the victim as unstable and less competent as a parent. Because of the abuse suffered, the victim may be less able to overcome these allegations, whether through an inability to speak up due to fear or because of some mental impairment suffered through trauma.

The law and the courts of New Mexico seek by mandate to achieve the best interests of the child. Unfortunately, on occasion, New Mexico’s “best interest of the child” standard used in child custody issues may actually help an abusive parent exert control over another parent.

Valentine’s Day: Getting past Muslim romance stereotypes

Posted on February 14, 2012 by (Published for 8 days)

So a good Muslim girl meets a guy through her parents, the only ?dates? they have are chaperoned, and sex before marriage? Forget about it.

Skip to next paragraph

?Right?

?I?m an unmarried, Muslim non-virgin,? writes Insiya Ansari, a writer from San Francisco. ?I?ve said it aloud.?

?And no, I wasn?t married or engaged to be married, or even in an exclusive relationship,? writes Zahra Noorbakhsh, a first generation Iranian-American comedian.

And then there?s Tanzila Ahmed, who has an affair with a Muslim punk rocker with a Mohawk whose band she follows across the country. And Tolu Adiba, who fights her homosexuality, then moves in with a girlfriend, who was herself married to a man.

This Valentine?s Day, peek into the love lives of 25 American Muslim women navigating love and religion in ?Love, InshAllah,? an intimate, brutally honest anthology by writers Ayesha Mattu and Nura Maznavi. The stories sweep aside stereotypes about subservient Muslim girls entering into arranged marriages and show the myriad ways Muslim women look for ? and find ? love. (The word ?InshAllah? in the book?s title is Arabic for ?God willing,? a phrase frequently used by Muslims.)

After successfully pitching their idea at Pitchapalooza 2010, a literary festival in the Bay Area where writers get a few minutes to pitch book ideas to a panel of industry veterans, the pair secured agents and then a publishing contract with Soft Skull Press in Berkeley, Calif.? When they began soliciting submissions from across the US, mainly through social media, Mattu and Maznavi were astonished by the response. They got around 200 submissions, from women with origins in East Africa, the Middle East, the subcontinent, and American converts, with a range of ages, professions, and sexual orientations. And the essays displayed a candor typically unseen in the Muslim community, an openness that surprised even the book?s editors, Mattu and Maznavi.

?I felt like we hit a chord,? Mattu told the Religion News Service.

Adds Maznavi, there ?really hasn?t been the space to discuss these issues publicly, and openly and honestly?There?s been a lot of fear in the community ? fear of judgment, fear of disapproval, and I think that manifested itself in a lot of self censorship and people not feeling comfortable to talk about these issues, even with very, very close friends.?

By the time submission calls came for ?Love InshAllah,? ?I felt like women were ready to talk about these stories,? says Mattu.

And talk they did, from a heartbreaking story by Leila Khan about losing her fianc? because he condemned Islam and lumped all Muslims together as terrorists, to a sweet tale by Huda al-Marashi, a first generation Iraqi-American, about adjusting her fairy tale expectations of love when she enters into a semi-arranged marriage.

The book, says Mattu, challenges pre-conceived notions about Muslim women by allowing the women to speak for themselves.

?There are still misconceptions about Muslim women, because Muslim women, their bodies, their lives, have been so caught up in political debate,? she told the RNS. ?I feel like this is a way for people to connect with women who are revealing their full humanity.?

Housing a “significant headwind” to recovery: Fed’s Pianalto (Reuters)

Posted on February 11, 2012 by (Published for 11 days)

CLEVELAND, Ohio (Reuters) ? The housing market is holding back the broader economic recovery now that foreclosures have become “a national crisis,” a top Federal Reserve official said on Friday.

“Housing market issues pose a significant headwind to our economic recovery,” said Cleveland Fed President Sandra Pianalto, a voter this year on the Fed’s policy-setting panel.

“Specifically, losses in housing wealth have held back consumer spending, sapped household confidence and reduced the ability of small-business owners to obtain credit.”

The debate both inside and outside of the central bank has intensified this year over what if anything it should do to boost the sector that is the biggest drag on the tentative U.S. rebound.

Pianalto’s speech came shortly after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, in Washington on Friday, issued a call to action to restore the housing market, saying depressed house prices and sales are a serious drag on the economic recovery.

On Thursday, big U.S. banks accused of abusive mortgage practices agreed to a $25 billion government settlement that may help a million borrowers, though they are a fraction of those hit hard by the drop in home values.

A 33 percent decline in U.S. housing prices since 2006 has resulted in an estimated $7 trillion loss of household wealth, and about 12 million U.S. homeowners are currently underwater on their mortgages.

Pianalto is considered a moderate policy “dove” who usually votes along with Bernanke. She did so two weeks ago when the Fed’s policy-setting committee sketched a difficult path ahead for the economy and said it expects to keep rates “exceptionally low” at least through the end of 2014 to help the recovery.

The Fed has bought some $2.3 trillion in long-term securities – including mortgage-related assets – and has kept the door open to buying more. That possibility has drawn criticism from some Fed officials and Republican lawmakers, who accuse it of overstretching and focusing on only one sector of the economy.

Addressing a housing-services audience here, Pianalto added: “I can assure you that I see the consequences of our housing market challenges both as a resident of northeast Ohio and in my role as a Federal Reserve policymaker.”

Pianalto’s Midwestern district has been hard hit by the housing slump, and her speech was delivered in a refurbished hall in a neighborhood where many houses had broken or boarded windows, fallen tiles and rusted fences.

K-9 Knitter: TMT – on Thursday for once!!

Posted on February 11, 2012 by (Published for 11 days)

1. Robin wants to know what your ideal number of dogs is?

2-3. A youngster that needs training, a middle dog that is pretty well trained and an oldster.

I like to have 3-4 years in between dogs so the older ones are lower maintenance and I can spend extra time with the youngster. Also so I don’t have all my dogs getting old all at once.

Right now Kenzi is 3 and Kipp is 7 so I’m thinking about the possibility of adding another dog in the next year or so…

2. Lora wants to know if you find that your dogs are better or worse after time off from training?

I think it depends on what I’m training. I like doing stupid pet tricks just for some fun, no pressure training. The dogs like doing something and who cares if you get it wrong? So we do those pretty frequently.

When we’re doing “real” work, I like to take some time off every now and then (a couple weeks here and there) and the dogs seem to come back with more enthusiasm and they never seem to regress much.

3. What is your favorite power tool? What power tool do you wish you had?

Cordless drill. So.very.versatile! I dunno on the second part. I’ve got a dad and a couple brothers with well stocked shops so I think I could find anything I needed there…

4. What did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to have a farm/ranch. I still want to have that farm or ranch! Currently working on a degree that may be to prove versatile enough to have that farm/ranch and a work from home job on the side.

5. How many of your friends are not “dog people”?

A few (I’ve got knitting friends too!!), but all of my non-dog friends get the dog thing. Or at least they get how important the dog thing is to me. That works for me. I think good friends respect your interests because they’re important to you, not becasue they really care about them. So as long as they don’t call me crazy for hauling dogs around in the back of my car, or getting out in all kinds of weather to train, etc, etc, I’m good with that!
